On bug 1421262, the submitter found that with the downloadable "web" Nvidia drivers, the content process attempts to write to .toc files in the /private/var/folders/ cache dir. The content sandbox blocks writing to these locations and as a result might be causing performance degradation by interfering with shader caching. We should investigate the performance impact and allow writing to these paths if warranted.
